Process cartridge including photosensitive member having multiple grooves and image forming apparatus including the process cartridge
Abstract:
A process cartridge includes a developing device that supplies developer to a photosensitive member and an elastic portion that cleans a peripheral surface of the photosensitive member. Multiple grooves are formed side by side in a generatrix direction on the peripheral surface. The developer contains a toner including a toner particle and an organosilicon polymer having a structure represented by R—SiO3/2 covering the toner particle surface, where R represents a hydrocarbon group having at least 1 and not more than 6 carbon atoms. When a penetration amount of the elastic portion with respect to the photosensitive member is set as δ (mm), and a fixing rate of the organosilicon polymer on the surface of the toner particle is set as α (%), δ≤0.02×α−0.4 is satisfied.
